But how does Deleuze square his pessimistic diagnoses with his ethical naturalism?

Within moral realism, the two main subdivisions are ethical naturalism and ethical non-naturalism.

Ethical naturalism was implicitly assumed by many modern ethical theorists, particularly utilitarians.

Contemporary meta-ethical research continues to debate more recent instantiations of ethical naturalism like the Science of morality.

Einstein thus expresses views of ethical non-naturalism (contrasted to ethical naturalism).

Many Humanists address ethics from the point of view of ethical naturalism, and some support an actual science of morality.

Moore was a cognitivist, but his case against ethical naturalism steered other philosophers toward noncognitivism, particularly emotivism.

Although naturalists do not interpret evolution as purpose driven, some nonetheless embrace virtue ethics and many see no compelling argument against ethical naturalism.

Indeed, proponents of ethical naturalism have argued that humanity needs to invest in their science of morality - although the existence of such a science is debated.

Related to ethical naturalism is also the idea that ethics are best explored, not just using the lens of philosophy, but science as well (a science of morality).
